Maybe I’m exaggerating but I feel like the current culture of entertainment being made for shareholders who are unwilling to take any “risks” has made it so a lot of series are unwilling to commit to characters dying. It sucks to have impactful death scenes undone because “the line must go up”.

Let me be clear.. EVERYBODY who has admin or mod privileges in ANY discord server that is even remotely adjacent to gamedev needs to @ everyone about what's going on, and they need to do it YESTERDAY. More ppl got caught up in this, coulda been avoided. Dont click links from ANYONE w/o interrogation

@rittzler.bsky.social (creator of Pseudoregalia), has had their Discord and email hacked and is linking to a virus in disguise. If you see anything linking to a game called "Furfall", DO NOT engage with it. It's not made by Rittz and isn't a real game (it's a Remote Access Trojan) DO NOT CLICK IT.

If you own a computer it should be illegal for a company to not let you easily install your own software. This includes crap like tvs and refrigerators. Let me put Debian on my dishwasher.

Are you 🫵 a twitter refugee? Are you 🫵 an OC artist? Unsure how to switch over to bsky?

Some quickfire tips from a bsky user who didn't use it much when I first joined, and then started using it properly about a year ago!

The municipality of Zaragoza in Spain contains a "video game neighborhood" that began development in 2010 with a street called "Avenida de Súper Mario Bros" and has since expanded to 10 streets named after various video game franchises.

The mystical roulette of every time I click Show on "graphic content" flags

It's lowkey fun ngl
#art #meme

Text saying "The mystery of "graphic content" flag
It could be either" followed by two panels
The first saying "a single drop of blood" with the stylised cartoon image of a person with a single red drop on the face
The second panel saying "a gruesome, violent gore scene" with the stylised cartoon drawing of three dead people with red scribbles all over them to parody a lot of blood.

I'm begging any artists still using Twitter claiming it's integral to their work to just leave. It's been revealed the site works off a made up "credit score" from hell and punishes you for posting like a normal human being.

Abandon Twitter for good. It's time. It's been time.

A quoted tweet from a user named Sam that reads: "How Twitter is rigged
Type in all caps because you're excited? Lowers your reputation. Include links? Your score goes down. It's like the Credit Score system from Hell.
And given Cisgender is treated as a slur & MAGA boosted, you can guess what's categorized as 'offensive'"

The tweet they quoted is from user SADIQ and reads:
"Tweepcred is X's reputation system
Based on your behavior, you get a tweepcred score
It determines your reach
Break the algo rules, you score goes down and your reach disappears
What are the rules of the X algo tho? Glad you asked."

SADIQ includes a photo of Twitter's algorithm code that calculates a user's reputation.

SADIQ continues:
"Post 'offensive text'? 80% reach reduction
Offensive username? 80% reach reduction
All caps tweet? That's seen as 'shouting. Major penalization.
Include links? Yup, penalized"

@passivestar.bsky.social

for real though godot is one of the few projects out there that actually democratizes gamedev instead of talking about democratizing it

Godot Engine @godotengine.org · Dec 2

This has been a great year for the engine, but there are still a lot of things we would love to do.

If each person visiting our website donated €5, we could hire 5 more developers to work on Godot full-time.
